Hello ladies!

I am sleepy for some reason...had to have an energy drink to wake my arse up...didn't help so much though, I am sleeepy!

Sorry for not having time to do individuals...I promise to be back first thing in the morning to do them. I have to go get dinner cooked for the monkies, lol. But I wanted to stop by and say Hi since I was in the basement waiting on the dryer to stop. I'm just fixing a salad for me, not really hungry.

Have a great evening! Ciao :wave:

Francie--yes he did crack my neck...I love it too though everyone else says they hate it. He also cracked my upper back, everythings so tight, but it did relieve alot of the pressure. I'd actually like to see all three of those dvd's. You'll have to let us know how they are. If you used a credit card for your Nutrisystem I would talk to them about getting your money back if you are not getting any satisfaction from the NS.

Mindee--not doing eggs this year but watch out next year!! Teri wants to take Nicky to get his pic on the Easter Bunny's lap. My mom always does pickled eggs for Easter..I'm going to get a couple. Me and Ry are the only ones that like them--Teri and hubby don't.

Cristina-I am so tired too. Dr Creek, the chiro says I should sleep better tonight.

Hi SuzyQ, Sassy, Katie and Sue!!!

Jules~OoO I bet it felt nice when he cracked your upper back. Me & dh crack each other's backs. Its probably not good for us, but it sure does FEEL good, lol. I've been having drama with Nutrisystem. I cancelled my account..but they sent me the food anyways and took out a ton of money for it. So then I sent it back, and now I'm just waiting for my refund. Enchanted is a really good movie. I saw it when it was in theatres. I'm just dying to see Antonment. I LOVED the book and read it so fast, lol. But I'll let you know how it is.

Anyhoo...I'm gonna eat some dinner now, so I can enjoy my Cherry Garcia for dessert at 7. No food after 7 for me.

Hi gals!

Francie--oooh I LOVED Atonement. The book, that is. I've been nervous to see the movie because I thought book was a masterpiece and it would be hard for a movie to live up to it. I thought Saturday and Amsterdam ( books by Ian McEwan) were also very good, but Atonement was really the best. (((big hugs ))) sorry your DH has to leave... I thank him for his service to our country, just like Cristina's Josh..it take a special person to serve in the armed forces. It also take a special person to be their partner, so kudos to you , too :)

Jules - pickled eggs? ugh...but I love pickles, so maybe it's not that big of a stretch. So glad you saw a chiro and a MT...I've been helped alot by seeing both myself. I still see my MT once a month, plus have started doing a pilates class twice a week - that has really helped my back, even more than yoga.

Oh geez - I'm posting in quick reply and I can't see what everyone else has written. Something about Susan and some suspicious flutterings..in the girly bits? Did I read that right, lol! You know - when it comes to that - I take what I can get, after all I am a woman in my 40s and I have the hormones to prove it :)

So, I am sorry-I know I missed a bunch of stuff, but I hope everyone is having a great Friday. It's officially Spring Break here. Both kids had great report cards so we celebrated with pizza and the kids each had a treat from Baker and Spice. My treat is some wine and off to bed early to read The Language of Baklava. It's really good...Hub and the kids are watching Jason and the Argonauts - anyone remember than movie? pretty great, but I've seen it and my book awaits.

Cheers!

Hi Gurls.

I am here. lol. Wed. was a night from he--double hockey sticks at work. Lets just say I can now add "office mover" under my title. :p I had to move not just once, but 3 times!!!! So frustrating and I was SO sore after having to get under my desk, unhook everything, lift all that crap onto a cart, then under the desk again, reconnect, unload my crapola, then to get a phone call from my boss to say, "you have to move back".........GRRRRRR! So only took what I HAD to have and used part of a co-workers stuff that has not moved yet, he was out of town at the time. Climbed under HIS desk, unhooked everything, hooked up my stuff, then guess what? Still could not connect to the stuff that I needed that I couldn't connect too downstairs! So I had to move AGAIN back to my original spot, climb under the desk, rehook everything up, still the same thing! Finally they got me connected to some things but not all. and before anybody asks, yes they do have a team who just moves people, but that doesn't apply to us "after hours" folks. They don't wanna pay them overtime to help us "nightshifters" move and I don't think they did it even for the dayshift people. Why do we have a team who moves people, but yet they don't move people???? Anyways. At the end of my shift on Thursday morning, I again unhooked everything and had DH take down my tower and my chair (I have a special ordered chair because of my back) and I moved all the guys stuff back to his desk that I used..........PHEW...........But I am proud of myself because I must have lifted everything correctly because it was my LEGS that were so sore and not my back!!! :carrot: I was so happy about that!!!! Ok so it doesn't take much!!! lol.

DH is back to work tonight and he had to move his tower upstairs to work and is working on a different co workers monitor, keyboard, etc.......he said this guy's stuff was nasty though, dried up FOOD on the keyboard, etc!!! EWWWW!!!! Said he had to clean everything before using it. Only thing I had to deal with was the crappy mouse that my co worker had that I was using. I asked DH if we had an extra optical mouse and he said yes, I said please give it to that man!!! He desperately needs one!!! lol.

Anywho, Thursday night, DH & I went out to dinner, we had Italian food. We both did not finish our meals and we did not have dessert -- we were full!!! :carrot: Then we went shopping INSTEAD of the movies, there was nothing that interested us. We bought a new tv for our bedroom, its awesome. :D Then I bought a few new tops for me, one is really cute, only thing is it accentuates my "girls" if ya know what I mean......:lol3: DH loves it........:p His answer was, "What? you got nice BB's, you can't help it......" :rolleyes: men...........lol. But it is a cute top and guess I'd rather my "top" be more emphasized than my "lower" half...........I gotta big booty.......:lol:

Ok speaking of clothes shopping, what is with the 70's fashion coming back? I felt like I was shopping in the Brady Bunch era! And some of the stuff they have for plus size women is just simply ridiculous!!! I held up some things to DH and said, "now why in the you know what would I want to wear this?" :lol3: It was quite funny. But very frustrating too because the pants were just horrendous!!! Why can't they make decent clothes for plus size women that does not cost a freaking fortune??? Is that too much to ask for? lol.

So needless to say I did not get any pants........guess I have to go around with my new tops and no pants. :p Just teasin' I'll find some, just have to look, which btw I hate doing. I can clothes shop for my DH, but for me? Forget it!!! lol. Now I can so sympathize with my mother. She always hated clothes shopping for me when I was a kid. I think I have always had the same problem -- a big booty. lol. Even as a kid. lol. It was tough finding pants to fit that weren't so long that I was walking on them........I still have the same problem. lol.

Anywho.........enough of my "Fashion Dilemmas" lol Why can't I have a "Nigel" (from Devil wears Prada) to pick out clothes for me??? :lol3:

It has so far, STOPPED RAINING!!! :carrot: It was gorgeous Thursday and yesterday and I think supposed to stay that way for a little bit.........YEY!

DH & I also went grocery shopping while we were out and for the very first time I did not feel "overwhelmed". I felt "free" because for the first time I didn't have to worry about "should I be eating this?" it was a very good feeling and I can see how the way I felt "before" was doing more "damage" than good. And Paul McKenna is right, after a while, things start tasting different and I do eat less!!! My pants I was wearing that night was even loose!!! Doesn't sound like a huge deal I am sure to you all, but it is huge to me. I feel free for once, I like myself for once and I don't put myself down all the time and I stopped feeling sorry for myself and I am taking action instead of sitting around whining about life. I feel FREE! Yes on Wed. night at work I was very very frustrated and yes I did VENT how I felt right then and there, but guess what?? I moved on after!!! I dunno I feel like I am finally being the person I wanna be instead of worry about what others want me to be. I don't care what others want me to be, I only care about what I want me to be. And being a better "ME" strengthens my relationships with people too. :) At the ones that care about me. ;)

So anywho, there ya have it. I bought the stuff to make banana pudding and my infamous banana cake, per DH's request. He wants to take my banana cake to work because this girl he works with, is from Romania, she has never had it before.......So I am making it for him to take in. The banana pudding is for DH, he's been wanting it. and Yes I still have GS cookies left!!! :D And DH said that the little "cookie pusher" at work gave him more boxes of pb cookies for him. We don't even ask for them, she just keeps bringing them in! I still have boxes left, so I don't need nor want anymore!!! lol. DH told her she is a "Cookie Pimp" lol. Anywho I am hungry, so I am going to go and eat.......:)

Take Care,

I hope you all are well!!!!

BIG :hug:

just popping back in here before I head off to bed just to start all over again on Saturday!

Saturday will be one busy day for us! we are going to an Easter Egg hunt with all the kids. Then over to my in-law's house for dinner and spending some time over there. Then Sunday we will be relaxing!

We got snowed on tonight.......somewhere between 1"-4" or 4"-8" I didn't look with a ruler so I don't know exactly!

Katy~I loved the book too!! I mostly read it because I knew dh wouldnt want to go see the movie. But omg, now that its on dvd, I'm just dying to see it!!! Thank you for your kind words. :hug: It really warms my heart when people say that to me.

Sassy~I LOVE the 70s fashion!!!!! I used to wear my mom's old tops from the 70s when I was younger. I remember she had this hippi looking dress and I would wear it ALLLLLL the time!!! But this was back when I could fit into a size 5. I think I was like 10, LOL!! Mmmm..I'll gladly take the GS cookies. I still have my box of Thin Mints that I'm slowly eating. (the cookies, not the box, LOL)

Anyways...I have a headache again right now. I cant take anything because I took some advil for backpain earlier. So I'm just suffering right now. :( Anyhoo..if anyone is online and has yahoo..IM me. I'm lonely right now.

Hiya ladies...

SASSY...geez louise girly, you definitely got a good workout with all the moving, tired me out just reading it, lol. Hey, I love the 70's clothes, espeically the cute tops...the babydoll ones. DD hates it, she calls them the pregnant tops. I don't like the bellbottoms though...was glad when those went out and refuse to wear them again, lol. WTG on the NSV! :carrot: I think that's all that matters-that you feel good about yourself. Glad it stopped raining.

JULES...glad the chiro helped...I really need to go but once I go I will feel like I need to keep going, they always want to see me 2 or 3 times a week and I don't want to feel trapped into it. I know it's just at the beginng but still. And yeah, I can do without the drama. It is just really stupid to me and as I said, I am too old for the bs. I refuse to play games, refuse! Anyway, speaking of Tony, how is he doing? Josh may have to go back to Iraq, ugh! How's that grandbaby? He sure is getting big already...they grow too stinking fast!

KATY...I am the same way. If I read a book and then a movie comes out I am a little leery of seeing it. Seems they never live up to the book. But...I was pleasantly surprised with the movie The Diving Bell & The Butterfly...loved both! Speaking of the Jason & the Argonauts...DH#1 loved it! That is why Jason is named Jason, lol. Yay for GREAT report cards! :yay:

MINDEE...wow, you guys colored the eggs early. Are you guys going to your moms, can't remember if you mentioned that you are or not. Question: why do you weigh after you eat and/or after a workout? Just curious...WTG on 234.4! :carrot: Sorry for Tommy's short lived promotion, that would suck...give you a promotion one day and take it back the next. I am going to have to catch I Can Make you Thin...heard a lot of talk about it.

SUSAN...the mail is so goofy. I was surprised it got here so fast too. Never know how long it is going to take something to reach it's destination. Hope you like Jemima J...I thought it was cute. Yay to Rach getting the job! :yay: Sorry about the heart flutters hope it's not from stress. :hug: Martian Child looked cute...I didn't want to go to the movie and see it but I will watch it when it comes out on dvd or on the telly. So what do you have planned for the weekend missy? Anything special planned with McDreamy?

FRANCIE...so far I am liking Confessions of a Shopaholic...love all her excuses, lol. Did you have your ice cream and watch your movies? I love Moonstruck and especially Mermaid...would have loved a mother like Cher growing up...her and her kabobs! I didn't know myspace had all the groups, one day I will have to venture out and see what's up. I usually just go and blog or send messages/comments. DIL-to-be seems to live on there and will only contact me that way, lol. Sorry about DH having to go, that always sux. I know it's different, but I always hated too when Josh (DS) left. Of course I hate good-byes anyway. Lots of hugs to you missy :hug:

Horton Hears A Who was cute! I am not a fan of Jim Carrey except in serious roles but this was cute. Going to have to go see more kid movies in the future. Love Steve Carroll (sp?) he cracks me up but overall it was good...definitely would go see it ladies.

Nothing much going on today or this weekend. I DO plan on getting lots of reading done. Haven't cooked an Easter dinner in a couple of years and didn't plan on doing it this year. But while I was in the store I saw the hams and figured I have to cook something so it might as well be ham. Well, I don't actually have to cook ever but I do, lol. Going to Easter Mass this evening, that should be nice. Other than that, nothing special. Need to get some exercise done sometime today too.

Have a great day/weekend ladies!

HAPPY EASTER!

:easter: :bunny: :bunny2: :egg: :easter2: :egg: :bunny2: :bunny: :easter:

Cristina~I'm reading the book again too. It still cracks me up. I can totally see myself doing all the stuff that she does, lol. I did get my ice cream, but I never made it to the movies, lol. I ended up just watching regular tv. I was gonna watch Mermaids in the bedroom, but my friend got online and I ended up chatting with her until I got sleepy. I love Mermaids!! I love Cher!! I used to live on myspace too. But it got to be too much drama, so I eventually cut back a little on it, lol. I do admit to only contacting people through there. LoL!!! My friend emails me through yahoo..and I'm always telling her to get a myspace account, but she wont, lol. Glad you thought Horton Hears a Who was cute. I really wanna see it now!!! I hate goodbyes too..so whenever dh leaves, we never say goodbye. We just say "I'll see you soon" It seems so much nicer, and he will be coming back.

Nothing much else is going on. I think I'm gonna go eat a yogurt and watch Mermaids, lol. BBL

Happy Saturday before Easter!!:easter::easter2:

I am such a nerd w/ no computer and tomorrow being Easter, the library will be closed, so Happy Easter early!! :bunny2::bunny: :easter:

Katy - Good to see you, when do you head for the coast, Monday? I haven't had the flutters since yesterday. Everyone seems to have their opinions on if it my heart area or just tension. I swear my sister thought it was the heart too. We ain't very smart in my thar family. haha. Anyway - have a safe trip and congrats to the kids on their report cards!!

Cristina - I don't like Jim Carrey either, I never have, yes...along w/ Johnny Depp. I love John Travolta, and I like that Steve guy too. I will have to look Martian Child up and see what it is about. I am glad you liked Horton and the Shopaholic book!

Sassy - lol on your post. I am not sure on the Brady Bunch fashions, I like my Old navy jeans, makes me feel like a teen. I noticed all of the young fashions for like Gab kind of looks like maternity tops.....which is nice for her tummy but she has lost a good deal of weight over the last 3 weeks, so she has no tummy anymore. I love banana bread, never have made the cake before....YUM on your Italian dinner!! And good for you on going to the store and not feeling overwhelmed :) , I am sure that was a great feeling! It would be for me.

Mindee - Ick on snow, how freaky. It is sunny but windy here. Awesome on the egg decorating, I am not doing that this year.

Jules - Ick on all the neck cracking!! lol Sounds painful. Rach will sit there and crack her knuckles, drives me batty. She says it feels good , can't imagine. Enjoy the Easter holiday w/ the baby!!!! I am sure it will be fun. :)

Francie - I like Cher too, I liked her in MASK, I have never seen Mermaids though. I hope your headache is gone and you are feeling better!!

Am I done w/ indi's??? whew.....Hi to Sue and Michelle!!

I slept in w/ Gab, she was so cute sleeping and is always up at 7am, so sleeping til 10 was wonderful. Rach went to work for the day and is whining already about being inside all day. I told her to think of all the $$$, stop whining.
Met up w/ Mike and we took Gab to an Easter thing at my church (*sigh, when I get my butt there....lol) and enjoyed a hunt and games and such. We were going to go to another one but Gab was having fun so we stayed and it was rather relaxing.
Mike took Gab overnight and I am still thinking of what I want to do for the evening.
And....omg- when he (Mike) was leaving he said "come here" and he gave me a hug and kissed my on the forehead....omg. I could have f- ing died!!! ewwwww. I had my arms crossed. It was like a f- ing birthday hug or something....ewwwww........I ran into the apt and got a shower.....of course he ran in after me and jumped in w/ me....ewwwwww.....jk.
He did hug me though...............ewwwwww. lol

McD was going to make chicken enchilada's (sp) but I didn't say for sure if I was making it over. I have to pick up Rach at 8pm, so that would cut into our time. It is no biggie she is only 2 1/2 miles down the road and I could always go back to his place....I mean, he is only around the corner. lol.....

I did finish Jamima J, it was good. I miss my Becky though!! Now I am reading The Other Woman but Jane Green and I like the book. So, I think I will go snuggle on the bed and read for awhile after I call McD though. Always something to do....I just wanna my time....me,me,me - all about me!! lol

omg- I need to replace some covered chocolate peanuts at my mothers.....I opened a container and ate the whole thing. Oops, how did THAT happen?? :D

k- have laundry that needs to be put in the dryer!!

chat later.................

I gave myself a new goal. I want to lose 5 more pounds by my 23rd birthday (April 29). And my gift to myself will be to get my tongue pierced. Woohoo!!

BBL

Hi Girls.

Well I had an emotional night and er um morning......lol. Have any of you noticed that once you stopped the emotional eating you are left with all these feelings? All I have been doing tonight is crying :cry: and I don't even know why......lol. I feel like I am crazy :crazy: or something but I know I am not. I know its just all those feelings that I kept burying with food. But what do you do with those feelings? And I don't even understand why I am feeling them???!!! lol.

I cleaned my bathroom really well, except for the floor........:p But I even took down the shower curtain and liner.........man alive was that a workout! I have a shower curtain rod that does not come down so I had to reach up and unsnap them all and then resnap them all back. I felt like I have been lifting weights!! lol. :lifter: Crazy. :crazy: You don't need to go to the gym for a workout, just get out the playtex gloves and some bleach. lol. I can see it now, a new workout video, starring.......Martha Stewart. Instead of a mat, you will need playtex gloves and bleach, the spring meadow scent please....:lol3:

Anywho, today (Sunday) I need to address the uh kitchen. Shouldn't take long but you know........just don't wanna do it. lol. DH stripped and remade the bed for me. He um kinda had too as our cat barfed all over the bed. But still it helped me out! lol.

Well its back to being chilly again. :brr: I think it got up to a whopping 30something today? What the heck is going on??? The poor Easter Bunny is gonna freeze his little tail off!!! :bunny2: lol. :easter3:HAPPY EASTER!!!:egg: BTW! lol

Cristina -- Well you and Francie can all have the 70's fashion, I don't want it, thanks. :) lol. What is NSV??? I don't know that one. I even tried to look it up on the net and all I found was: No-Scalpel Vasectomy :lol3: :lol3: and I know that isn't what you were talking about. :lol3: But I figured you gals would get a good laugh :lol: from that. lol. I wanna see Horton hears a who as well. :)

Francie -- well you can have ALL the 70's fashion. lol. I don't want it. lol. I don't know what I want actually. I want someone to just find what looks good on me for me. lol. I hate shopping, esp for stupid pants because its so hard for me.........they are either too long or big enough that it looks like I have a "load" in my pants. :lol: Sigh. I think I am just gonna give my MIL some $$ and have her order me some things off of QVC or home shopping network.....:p I have been doing SO good with my GS cookies. :) I still have 2 boxes left! :D Oh and I bought some of those 100 calorie hostess snack cakes, holy moly are they small!!! :fr: They look like they were made for smurfs or something! :lol3: But I was good, I only had 1 pack.........and I savored every single little bite. lol. Hope your headache went away, next time you can try drinking something with caffeine in it, (if you drink caffeine) there is also supposed to be a pressure point somewhere that is supposed to take away a headache....can't remember where it is though. Helpful aren't I? :p I added you to Yahoo, but dunno if it worked or not. I'll PM you my id.....:) Goodluck with your Goal, we know you can do it! :cheer:

Susan -- yes those are the tops I am talking about, they look like maternity tops! I am like I do not need any help in looking even more fat, thanks. lol. Everybody I have made the Banana Cake w/ Cream Cheese Icing for loved it. I think I have only eaten it once. lol. I used to make it all the time for my step dad as he was allergic to chocolate. I love Italian and it was good.....haven't had it in a while. :) Yes it was such a great feeling to not feel overwhelmed at the grocery store any more. :) I love Chocolate covered anything.......cover it in chocolate and I will eat it. :D lol.

Big :hug: to all.

:bunny2:Happy Easter Everyone!!!!!!!:egg:

Sassy~I did bought some pants from Lane Bryant once and they gave me that "load" look. LoL!!! I returned those asap. OMG!! I totally have those 100 cal snacks. Me & dh bought brownies. The reg for him, and the 100 cal for me. And his were HUGE compared to my barbie food brownies, lol. But they were sooo good though, lol. Ya you need to savor those little bitty things, lol. Its well worth it. I want more GS cookies. I'm craving the Samoas (spl?). You know the ones with coconut on them. Me & dh have to have our own boxes with those cuz they're our faves!! I dont drink caffine (because we're ttc)..but I think the pressure points are the temples. (I saw it on The Way We Were, lol) Whenever I press on them, it goes away. I'm not totally sure if thats the right thing to do though, lol. I didnt get your add on yahoo. So ya, PM me and I'll add you.

I'm gonna be spending the rest of the day with dh. He's leaving later today, so I'll be back then. Have a great day with your families!!!!!

Hey everyone!!! I hope you all had a good Easter!!

We had a pretty fun Easter. We ended up going to Walmart this morning because I never got to get my chocolate Easter Bunny. Which turned out to be a huge bust. They were all GONE!!! But oh well..I ended up getting Hershey's Kisses. They're the new cherry ones..and Mmmmmmmmm they're sooooooo good!!! I also got the new People mag with Jennifer Lopez on the cover with her adorable twins (I want twins now, lol). And I got Antonement!! Which I'm going to watch after Dateline.

But for the bad news. Fonzo is gone :( He'll be home in a few days..but I'm still gonna miss him...I wish he didnt have to go.

Anyways..I'm gonna go watch the rest of Dateline. BBL

Hola Chickareenos.

Well the bunny didn't get too cold here. I was in the 40's.......still chilly. Well I found some pants! Through one of the many email newsletters I get. I am getting 6 pairs. 4 of them are only $5.88 each!!! :D The other two are under $10 and I also had 40% off of one of those. Not too shabby. ;) Now I will have to get a few more tops when I go out, but that is easy, its the bottoms that are hard. I just hope these pants fit right and look right. If not they have a satisfaction guaranteed thing, you can send them back within 90 days.

Francie -- Yes they are Barbie snacks for sure but like you said they are good!!! I bought them mostly to have at work so the vending machine won't "tempt" me. :p Well I broke into my 2nd box of thin mints.......I swear those GS put some addictive feature in those things. lol. I PM'd you my yahoo ID. I forgot to do it this morning. lol. My mil got DH and I chocolate bunnies. She does every single year. lol. Mine is "Diva Bunny" she is so cute. Has a candy necklace and all. lol. I bought the People with Patrick Swayze on the cover. Its so sad about him........if any of you don't know, he has Pancreatic Cancer. :cry: But he is fighting it. Awwwww Big :hug: I know you'll miss Fonzo, at least he'll be home in a few days. I know not much comfort......:hug:

Well I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Back to work tomorrow night...............yippee, at least I will finally be on my new floor and won't have to move around!!!

:hug:
